All,

I contacted treehopper saying that it would be great if they made a treesuit platform more the size/shape of the Tethrd Predator.

The regular Treesuit weighs 1 lbs 12 ounces, but I can't stand on it without grabbing the tree. If they made one that was around 2 lbs (1 lbs lighter than a Predator) that you could fully stand and turn on, then I'd buy one first day.

Mark responded and said they had started building some of those but didn't complete them (yet).

Anyways, not to flood his inbox, but if you were interested in one, you might want to let them know and this might let them assess the market for it better.

I whipped up some bigger steel treesuits for presets, love them and would pay for the real deal out of aluminum.

Bigger would be good. Bigger and adjustable would be awesome. Not sure how they would make it adjustable though.

I have 3 of them now that I use for pre sets. 1 gen one that I bought from Mark and 2 gen 2 that I bought second hand. I'd buy a bigger version in a heartbeat. Probably more than 1. I also have his ocb straps with the longer handle and like those too. I use those on both my platforms and ring of steps. They work great.

I have an oversized steel DIY welded treesuit that I used for years when I got started in the saddle before finally making the glorious aluminum and foot rrom switch to a predator. I am defintely interested in a bigger version of the treesuit as they are bullet proof in my experience

you'd maybe figure out a way to move the angled support arm that is on the sides

maybe several holes it could fit in on the underside of the platform and then the other side on a swivel

I think that would work. I really liked having the strap level with the top of the platform. Made it really nice to run a few steps on it. I also liked not having a post in the way taking up foot room.
